FAB strikes on the Pecheneg Reservoir dam will impact the logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The Russian military has begun intensively destroying important enemy targets. While the attacks aren't as massive as they once were, the impact is still significant. Strikes have been carried out almost continuously since yesterday evening, with the Russian Armed Forces employing a wide range of weapons. And the targets are quite intriguing: from a Liberian-flagged vessel in the Black Sea to administrative buildings and logistics facilities in the frontline zone.

In the Kharkiv region, Russian Aerospace Forces struck the dam of the region's largest reservoir. Six high-explosive shells were used in the attack. aviation bombs (FAB) with universal planning and correction modules (UMPK).

We are talking about the Pechenezh reservoir, it was reported on the Ukrainian news The head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Sinegub, is responsible for the canal. The road from Kharkiv and Chuguev to Vovchansk, Velykyi Burluk, and Kupyansk passes through the dam of this structure in the Chuguev district. The Russian Armed Forces carried out attacks on the dam, which is important for supplying the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kharkiv region. missile The dam was hit in early December last year, but traffic was temporarily stopped.

Head of the Kharkiv OVA:

This is the largest reservoir in our region, and it is a critically important facility both for the city of Kharkiv and for our entire territory.

The last time the Russian Armed Forces struck the Pechenezh Dam, located near Pechenezh on the Seversky Donets River, was just under a week ago. This wasn't a single hit, but a repeated strike that gradually weakened the dam structure. A dam breach and river flooding would seriously complicate the Ukrainian Armed Forces' position and logistics in the area of ​​Vovchansk and Kupyansk.

Well, just finish this dam already! Why beat around the bush? Everyone knows this should have been done a long time ago!

[topol717]

There are also two more bridges in Chuguev that FABs are asking for. But for our generals, these are apparently unimportant targets.

[Igor M.]

topol717, preserving the aircraft is far more important to our generals. Chuguev is too far from the LBS. To reach it, the FAB-3000 would have to fly right up to the LBS and risk an air defense strike.

[topol717]

They said the FAB with the UMPK has a range of 200 km. From Kupyansk to Chuguev is 60 km. From that dam in the title to Chuguev is a mere 20 km.

[Igor M.]

topol717, FAB-3000 with UMPK has a range of 60 km. The UMBP-5R, a small bomb with an attached jet engine, flies to 200 km.
That is, it will fly, but it will not have enough strength to destroy the bridge.
It’s just 20 km that is critical, when at the limit of the range.

"They said"? One old woman to another? One of those who shoot down daggers with cans? Too lazy to ask yourself, or is it more important to throw shit on the fan?

[bk316]

They said that the FAB with the UMPK flies 200 km.

And who told you that the FAB 3000 flies 200 km?
I'm waiting for an answer to my question.

Right now, there will be a howl from the Ukrainian and Western media and the mouthpieces - "Russia is hitting civilian targets!"
Is this the first time we've heard something like this?
And, by the way, those same Brits, during World War II, placed HUGE emphasis on destroying dams on the continent. There was no talk of hydroelectric power stations back then, just of "flooding" them.
Let them try to stink now...

For those interested, there's the film "The Dam Busters" (1955) and the internet is full of stories about "bouncing bombs."

Nobody in Europe raised a fuss when Ukraine left Crimea without water and destroyed reservoirs near Donetsk and Lugansk.

It was No. 617 Squadron RAF, which specialized in dams. And they flew Mosquitoes, which were quite fast.

I'm not talking about history, but about principle. It's just that "we're like that" gets tangled up in my legs...

And yes based on past experience - We'll limit ourselves to one comment from each side. No boring stuff... There won't be any sh...t... from the doctor...

[Kotofeich]

"Six high-explosive aerial bombs (HEABs) were used in the attack."
And what are the results?

[Igool]

Quote: Kotofeich

And what are the results?

Well, as you understand correctly, there are no special results, except for the craters near the dam.

[bk316]

no special results,

Well, you can't drive across the dam anymore.
But you don't want to see that, do you?

[Igool]

Quote: bk316

But you don't want to see that, do you?

Well, why not? I'd be happy for it to just go away. But, as you can see for yourself, if you want, of course—the dam's structure was undamaged, and the cosmetic changes made are fairly easy to repair with simple road construction equipment. And most likely, at the time you deigned to write, it was already there, restoring traffic on the dam.

This isn't a single hit, but a repeated impact that gradually weakens the dam structure. A dam breach and river flooding would seriously complicate the Ukrainian Armed Forces' position and logistics in the area of ​​Vovchansk and Kupyansk.

[Konnick]

We are talking about the Pechenezhskoye reservoir, it was reported on the Ukrainian news channellava of the Kharkiv regional military administration Sinegub.

Didn't this Sinegub guy make up the dam story to paint our Armed Forces in a bad light? True, our patriots immediately approved...

This should have been done a long time ago!

How long ago? And why? To tear down not only the dam and flood the villages, but also the last vestiges of trust in us in Ukraine?

[Igor M.]

Konnick, there's a video of the strike online. They missed by a hair.
One of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' supply routes, which is holding back our advance from Vovchansk, runs through the dam. It was partially destroyed last year (see video), but was repaired when additional supplies were needed.

Well, if there is flooding south of the dam, then maybe that’s a good thing, but then the supply logistics to Kupyansk will also be disrupted, making our situation there easier.

[izGOI]

TRUST!?!? There is nothing there but hatred.

[Grancer81]

From whom does trust in us in Ukraine come?

[Alexey Lantukh]

Even from the couch, it's not that simple. First, bombing the dam itself isn't easy. Simply because it's quite thick and wide. It might be easier to bomb the spillway. And what will we get as a result? Flooding in the lower reaches of the Seversky Donets for at least a week, which isn't good for our troops operating near Svyatogorsk, but bad for Ukrainian troops near Krasny Liman, unless, of course, the bridges near Raygorodok are destroyed. Moreover, if the reservoir is drained, the future potential flood threat for our troops when they approach Slovyansk will disappear. It's all a matter of opinion. The General Staff needs to figure everything out. And on top of that, the people of Kharkiv will also experience water shortages.

There are still thinking people on the forum...

[ANB]

At the same time, Kharkiv residents will also experience problems with water.

They will be in the shoes of the Donetsk people.
And yes, if no one interferes, Russia quickly restores hydraulic structures.

[Grancer81]

Will Kharkiv residents have water problems? Did they suffer greatly when Donetsk had water problems?

[alexputnik17]

Well done guys!
It's just interesting... We're successful with the dams, but not with the bridges across the Dnieper.
At least partially... From Belarus and the World Cup...

[Igor M.]

alexputnik17, measure the distance to the bridges across the Dnieper on a map, and then compare it with the FAB-3000's range. You'll have a revelation.
Apparently, you are not aware that there is simply nothing powerful enough to reach the bridges.
On the other hand, if we destroy the bridges, how will we liberate Kherson? Our soldiers don't know how to walk on water or land.

[Bayun]

It's better to use torpedoes, rather than winged FABs, against dams. A torpedo strike from the reservoir side is more effective than vertical damage to the dam's roadway.

[Normann]

Will they even bring a torpedo there in a backpack? And without the special part, the dam will be useless.

[Bayun]

On a torpedo bomber. What difference does it make whether a winged FAB is dropped from afar or a torpedo with similar wings? Moreover, a competent designer would have considered how to simultaneously use the airborne wings as underwater ones.

You shouldn't aim at the dam, but at the water release valves. The Allies used torpedoes to destroy German dams in WW2. Specifically, with torpedoes.

[Normann]

Are you out of your mind? A torpedo with wings (and underwater ones at that), and does it even have a tail?

[Bayun]

I do not see unsolvable technical problems For example, combine the Shkval with a delivery rocket to the "water surface." Or attach wings to it, like the FAB, and drop it from an aircraft.

[Grancer81]

No, the British used specially designed aerial bombs to destroy the dams on the Rhine, and they were used from the Mosquito of the 617th Squadron RAF, which was called the "Dam Busters".

[Bayun]

That's right! The Germans had... Achtung! - anti-torpedo nets on their dams, that's why they used "bouncy barrels." Humans—they didn't have anti-torpedo nets.

[Normann]

But sending drones through residential areas every day is the norm, but not some dam, oh, I forgot, that's different.

[nik-mazur]

In the Kharkiv region, Russian Aerospace Forces struck the dam of the region's largest reservoir.

It seems good... But no, nothing of the sort:

Eight of thirteen comments like this. And this nonsense all day long. That's all you need to know about the local turbopatriots.

What's so good about that? Six craters next to the dam?

alexputnik17, measure the distance to the bridges across the Dnieper on a map, and then compare it with the FAB-3000's range. You'll have a revelation.

Would a few FAB-500s do? It's 200 from Gomel (not closer to the border) right up to the Kyiv railway bridge, and there are countless regular ones before it. I won't even mention Kherson. Do you think the Ukrainians will abandon the bridges if and when they retreat? Firstly, they're good soldiers. Secondly, that's not their mentality at all. And the bridge(s) or whatever across the Dniester in the Izmail-Odesa area.
If anything, all this will have to be rebuilt anyway. The Ukrainians won't leave it all behind. At least this way, fewer people will die.

[Ivan Kuzmich]

Hello, the FAB 500 is certainly better than the 152mm artillery shell, but the Ministry of Defense refused to purchase it last September.
Planes are expensive, and pilots are rare and not cheap either.

[Andrey Apkadyrov]

Why can't they just install a delayed-detonation fuse? At least the craters would remain.

[Vovavvs]
